Default Turbo Bumper Ducts (cover)

I recently purchased a used aftermarket bumper for my 2000 996. The mesh from the ducts is not quite what I want. I've seen "Slats" on similar bumpers. Does anyone know where I can purchase these "slats" for this turbo bumper Advice or suggestions are much appreciated I've attached a photo of one I found on line

Have you checked to see if the mesh is installed over the OEM slats? Also - you will run into issues trying to fit an OEM turbo bumper on a MK I car. The different headlight design will not line up properly with the bumper cover.

It is not an OEM Turbo Bumper, it is a MA Shaw bumper for the NB 996. I just used the photo from the web to show the slats. I've decided to go with the mesh from a local aftermarket shop. Thanks to all for the advice and suggestions.
